Serial No. 671,369 I 9 Claims. (oi. 156 22) I This invention relates generally to brackets for r curtain rods and more particularly to a combined bracket and ornamental device. An object of my invention is to provide a bracket thatis adapted to mounta plurality of ourtain rods and at the same time is ornamental in appearance. 3 f

. Another object is to provide such a bracket with means for mounting curtain rods havin I ends of different constructions;

Another object isto provide such a bracket with means for mounting a plurality of curtain rods in alignment-to facilitate hanging along curtain and a valance.

' Still another object is to provide such a bracket with rod mounting means at various positions and levels to accommodate various structures of- I window frames.

A still further object .isrto provide sucha J bracket with means for mounting the curtain with the fastening means and the mutilations caused by such fastening means when the bracket is removed are concealed from view. a H

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the description of my invention to follow taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which- Figure 1 is a front elevation of the top portion of a window frame with'my improved brack- -et mounted thereon. l 1

.. Figure 2 is a front view of my improved bracket.

Figure 3 is a side view thereof.

Figure 4 is a topplan view.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of a portion of the top of a window frame with my improved bracket mounted thereon at the top of the frame and showin a curtain rod mounted swingingly.

-Referring to the drawing in dettail, my improved bracket comprises a vertical body portion 10 formed of metal of any suitable kind, a horizontal roof portion 11 formed integrally with the vertical portion and extending to the front and back of said vertical portion. This roof 11 is shown as formed by bending the material upon itself, but it maybe formed of a separate piece and secured to the verticalportion in any, de-

siredmanner, Formed on one side of thebody O with means for mounting on itssupport so that ,thebody portion 10. a .in Figure Lat the left side of window frame.

14 is formed at the lower edge of the vertical body portion 10 where it intersects with the side isr'sall 12. This shelf is provided with an-opening V v The roof 11 is provided preferably on one side 50. ofthe vertical wall with upstanding pins. or studs 16. preferably positioned in alignment. Formed in this roof portion 11 preferably on the other sideof the vertical wall are a series of alignedopenings 17 for the reception of nails 5 or other fastening means" Also formedin the roof 11 preferably adjacent the end thereof adjacent. the side wall 12 and adjacent the front edge thereof is a larger opening 18. [This opening 18 ,in the roof and the opening'15 in the 7 shelf 14: are in alignment as shown in Figure 4.

Mounted on the side wall 12 on the "interior thereof are spaced pins or'studs 19. -These studs liliextend inwardly and. upwardly, and maybe mounted so that'the upstanding portions'thereof are in alignment or one stud may extend in further than the other as shown in Figure 2 These studsaremounted on the sidewall outwardly of. the front edge of the roof ll. I

A socket member 2%) may beforrned integrally 30 on the outside of the wall. 12. andpreferably is disposed in alignment with the studs 19. An

ornamental member 21 such as a spear head may have ,its shank portion.

. for use on the right hand side of a window frame. In-a bracketv fer use on the left handside, the

side. wall 12 is'formed on the left hand end of Sucha bracket isshow'n. V I

In using my improved bracket, curtain rods upper sill of the window frame 23. This mount,- ing is eifectedby driving ,nails or other fastening means upwardly through the openings-l'l in the roof portion and. into the underside of the-10o sill. When thus mounted the vertical wall 10 conceals the fastening means and any mutilation:

caused by the fastening means will notbe seen when the bracket is removed. In Figural is illustrated an ordinary curtain rod 24 having.;1 05 angled ends with openings therein. Each of the angled ends is mounted on one of the lower studs 19, in this view being shown on the innermost;v stud. 19. HThese' rods are x usually adjustable lengthwise. The rod 24; slidablymounts a long 121.10

curtain 25 by means of rings 26, only a portion of the length of the curtain 25 being shown.

Another rod 2'] similar in construction to the rod 24 has its angled ends mounted on the other outer studs 19 so that its elongatedbody portion is spaced outwardly from the body portion of the rod 24. A valance or fringe 28 is mounted on this rod 27. The ornamental member 21 forming an extension of the rods adds to the pleasing appearance of the window. The rods 2 and 2'7 could of course if desired be mounted on the upper. studs 16.

It will also be understood that curtain rodsand any mutiiations caused by such fastening means when the bracket is removed are hidden.

' Only the right handend of the window frame is shown. In this View a curtain rod 29 having its angled end mounted in the aligned openings 18 and is shown supporting the curtain 25, only a short length of the curtainbeing shown.

The rod 29 with its curtain is adapted to swing toward and away from the window frame as will be understood. A similarrod is of course similarly mounted on a bracket on the other end of the window as will be understood. By reason of 'this construction, instead of pulling curtains apart for any desired purpose, the curtain is swung outwardly to the extent desired.

Various changes in details 'inight be made without departing from the principle of my invention and I desire therefore to be limited only by the state of the prior art and the appended claims.

I claim:

1. A bracket for mounting a curtain rod com-' prising a body portion, a roof portion having an opening for the reception of fastening means and means carried by the roof portion for detachably mounting a curtain rod.
